Not sure what math gets you to 198,000 belts needed?

If this belt can do 5 tons per second, that's 10,000 lbs per second per belt

So to reach 1,000,000 lbs/s globally, you would do:

1,000,000 lbs/s divided by 10,000 lbs/s/belt = 100 belts

No?

Makes sense. Can't tell you what I was thinking, since the cache has cleared. ;)
